I saw in their mailer that this was going to be happening soon. Guess that time is now?
Oh boy. Skipping 4 and going straight to DEFCON 3.
Time to start updating my wish lists.

What if that is a way around the deeming regulations? All three components together are not approved, but the components individually are. So they sell them to you separately and you have to blend them and let them sit. ?
This is how the UK shops have been dealing with the regulations there. Such a waste of everyone’s time.
"Jaw dropping prices." 
Back in 2016 it came in a limited edition tub for less than $25 for 12 ounces, no assembly required.

I assume that is exactly what it is.
Next, blends started with a packet of seeds.
actually makes sense. As a kit they don't have to pay any money but if they blended it all together suddenly it's a new tobacco that has to be registered or something like that. I guess what I am saying is they don't have to do this but it's more cost effective.
Yup, quite clever. Only problem us you can't do this with flake or plugs?
It should've been beyond the deeming, one if the earliest reviews is pre-2007. I've also read it's not one of Russ's but was blended by Eric Nicholas.
You can with a pasta press.
Why Press Tobacco??? :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion
Yeah, you put in a VaPer like Victorian Match, it’s amazing how dark the puck comes out. I think it’s in part from the Perique juices staining the rest of the tobaccos. It makes for an amazing, funky VaPer.

I thought about something like that. It definitely would be better than nothing.
I doubt though that it would match the consistency of a factory press or match the pounds of force they are able to create. I could be wrong.
of course it is. But it still cost more if I understand correctly. Why incur costs if they aren't needed. Example if you found a lb of a great tobacco for 5 buck or for 3 bucks why pay the five?
that's the one. If they sell it as a kit the financial burden of registering the tobacco is with the people who make the elements that are blended together. If they keep it as a blend don't they have to pay for some paper work or testing or some such thing? So if I understand it correctly why would they spend the money if it's really simply not required.
Being a pre-deeming blend, it shouldn't have been an issue unless the addition of "Scotty's" to the name post 2007 disqualified it from being grandfathered in.
